Umm, yea... That is odd.
Maybe the machine has an 040 accellerator cpu installed. I don't even
know if there IS an 040 upgrade for the IIci but that is the only thing I
can think it might be except that maybe this software product provides a
layer to fool macos into thinking it HAS got an 040?
Kinda like those software 'math coprocessors' that used to allow you to
run autocad on a machine without a 287/387 by providing the function in
software. It actually did speed floating point up quite a bit, but not
nearly what the hardware FPU would have.
I hate it when manufacturers abandon legacy hardware. My Sunbox can't run
any Solaris above 2.4(sunos5.4) cause Sun doesn't love me anymore
(screwing up eyes to fight tears).
Regards,
Jeff
